The Prunus × blireana, commonly known as the Blireana Flowering Plum, is a stunning ornamental tree prized for its fragrant double pink blossoms in spring and rich purple-bronze foliage that lasts through summer. A hybrid between the Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) and the purple-leaved plum (Prunus cerasifera), this tree combines vibrant seasonal colour with a graceful, rounded habit, making it a standout choice for gardens, parks, and landscaping projects.
